My ‘79 F-350 4WD Ranger Lariat SuperCab is still going strong. Ordered with PS, PB, A/C, CB radio, cruise control, dual fuel tanks and 351M. I’ve installed a Detroit locker in the rear, an ARB air locker in the front, 4.56:1 gears, dual Rancho front shocks with mounts I fabricated myself, and high-steer tie rod and drag link. 35” Super Swamper radials with forged aluminum Weld Wheels. Also installed Edelbrock manifold, carburetor, camshaft, new valve springs, and 4” K&N air filter. Heads have been ground to match the intake ports, valves were ground with triple angles, and the surfaces were milled flat to remove distortion and slightly increase compression. Full MSD ignition was installed: Pro-Billet distributor, Off-Road box, 8mm wires, Blaster coil, and wiring harness with weatherproof connectors. Dual 2 1/2” exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. Pipes and mufflers all mounted above the frame rails for clearance. Pipes exit straight back and downward before the rear bumper. Also has dual marine batteries with solenoid control. Interior has new carpeting and a new seat. No rust, no rot. Mileage about 7-10 mpg and it sure isn’t fast with those gears. Engine turns about 3,400 at 65 mph. Between the tires and the exhaust, gotta really yell to talk to passenger! Pulls in 4-Low like an old John Deere, but 0-60 is embarrassingly slow! Like any personally-built projects, it’s got a few things that aren’t quite complete. Prestone 1 gal bottle for radiator overflow, transmission, engine oil, and rear diff oil gauges are still on the floor, still haven’t put the radio back in, and there’s no heat! (If you know where the heater core is on a truck with A/C, you’ll know why.)

My 86 4 speed 4x4 F250 got 8 on a good day with the 460. Swapping this engine into a recently purchased 79 F150 4x4, possibly converting it to 3/4 ton or 1 ton if I can source the axles. Odds are good I can find 7 of them out of 100 made I hear😂

[@0tt0Skorzeny]

Ya, that made me laugh. I currently drive a '79 F-100 with a 302 and on a recent 2000 mile round trip from Atlanta to San Antonio I managed only 13 mpg. That's with a brand new C4 trans and a new rear end, and similarly young 302. I've owned a '77 and another '79, both with 302s and the best I ever got with any of them was 15mpg. Back then they put the cars on a tread mill with no load or anything and ran the vehicle at an optimal speed for that particular setup like 50 mph or some crap. All those numbers up until recently are only good for comparison, not for reality.

I have a 1977 with a 1979 351w from a van and a c4 auto and get 20+ at 65-75. recurved the dizzy and put a homemade hei and short tube headers duel 2.5 pipes with h pipe and glass packs. i use passenger car tiers with a hi lode rating in a steel belted radial.

Theres only one thing I have to say... 93 out of 100 of all Ford trucks built since '63 are still on the job.

[@cpufreak101]

Imagine if you sent these guys a brand new F-150 with the 2.8 and a Transit, they'd probably be surprised that they had the audacity to sell it in the future lol

[@roddydykes7053]

Scott Sekiya I’d say both the high and low end new trucks have gotten better and worse respectively, mind you I’ve never driven a pre-90s truck, but I betchya these guys would be blown away and confused by a Supercharged VelociRaptor, imagine that for a commercial

[@jamesr2888]

Dad bought a used 73 F-100 Custom in 77: great truck. My first vehicle 6 months after turning 16 in 1989, was a 1970 F-250: truck was a beast.

I just bought a stock '73 Custom, with comfy bench seat, three on the tree and big grumbling V8. Bahama blue in and out all in excellent condition. Waited a long time to join the F100 club but these ads show why they were and are so popular.

[@CHUY-DRZ400s]

no 74-79 supercab commercials?!?!

[@ofp8574]

I have a 79 model F-150 myself, with the Twin I Beam, and I will say, these trucks can take pretty rough treatment. I've jumped mine several times, gone through ditches. Sure, these only have a few inches of suspension travel, but these frames are springy. You bottom out, the axles flex, the frames bend, but they bounce right back out. Driving through a field, you can watch the bed rocking back and forth, or hitting big piles of dirt or tree stumps, the axle comes up and hits the frame, the truck twists. The whole truck is a spring. No rigidity, but no permanent deformation.

ReubenSammich That's cool man I have a 96 Ford F150 with 5.0L Windsor V8 with 203,393 miles on it and it's still going strong.

[@cpufreak101]

ReubenSammich yeah, they in '78 can't prove it, but we in 2016 can, they're already outlasting the new models lol

[@CJColvin]

Justin Noker Exactly man and if these new vehicles are so good then why do you see them in repair shops more than you see the old trucks.

[@squangan]

My late father bought a red ‘77 model year F250 4x4 crewcab with a 351W in 1976. My uncle who has long since passed also bought a yellow ‘76 F250 crewcab with a 360 in 1976, that crewcab is still in their family 47 years later albeit with a Cummins in it since 2002.

[@losojosdehotspanish2162]

At 4:20 what do they mean by runs on any kind of gas? like e85

[@cpufreak101]

Mc Rayas I'd believe if you adjusted the carb it'd happily take E85, which wasn't even a thing back then (fun fact, Ford also made the first mass produced E-85 capable from factory vehicle) however I believe California was experimenting with M85 during this time, it might have been later though

[@GCHG2014]

4:15 Wait. Any Kind of Gas? better than the modern day fords...

[@tcolondovich2996]

I recall watching a video that proved they make the same cars for Brazil, except ours in the USA will trigger a warning light if there's too much ethanol, there's won't. Even though both can handle ethanol above 90%, let alone 85%. That's why they sell chips here that plug into your OBD2 so you can use e85 without triggering the warning. Most fuel systems in the last 20-25 years are perfectly fine with Ethanol in any amount in vehicles made by commercial car manufacturers. However, oil companies wouldn't like it if they didn't throw a warning when you use too little of their product versus the competitor.
